Mr. Mom

Friday afternoon Cindy left for a women’s retreat and put me in charge of the house and kids. After 28 hours and 37 minutes (Not like I’m counting) of being in charge I have developed a deeper appreciation for all that Cindy does. No, there have not been any catastrophes, and I have not had to call Cindy to ask where the pacy keepers are or how long Lukas’ afternoon quite time is. It takes a bit of coordination to keep the kids fed, clean, dry and clothed, and the house and dishes clean. And then throw in Natalie’s fussing this evening and Lukas’ fascination with the word “why”. “Why is the milk cold?” “Why are the carrots hot?” “Why is there a white thing in the bottom of the salt shaker?” “Why do I have to take a bath?” I love my talented wife and I look forward to her return on Sunday.
